As previously stated I have not see any pre built layouts unless you go to one of the companys that will build everything for you then deliver it. The only ones that I have see are kits, one of the local hobby stores has one that they are building, woodland scenics, as a display. The only differance that I, and other rr's, can see is that you get all the products in a box. I think you get the basic package then have to either buy the rail/switches separately or their package, I think this is atlas. Then you have to purchase buildings the same way, either in a package or separately. <br />I, nor do I know of anyone, who has sat down and done a cost estimate and before I think anyone would purchase such a kit this would have to be done. See how much the total cost of buying via their kits vrs how much it would it be if you went out and bought the products separately. If you like the plan for it just look in the RR mags and see their add, the plan is strait forward and can easily be copied on paper, then go from there and obtain necessary materials for framework, track, buildings that you choose to put on and then scenery materials of how you would like to build it. You can follow their track plan and put in your own ideas. Check out some of the track plan ideas that are out in book form at the hobby shops some of them add ideas for land contours, scenery , building and road placement ideas. You can also go to Atlas site and check their plans out. <br />One thing to remember, most of us are all busy with things in life and do not have much time to devote to this hobby, but it is a hobby and most of us have had it, and will have it, as a life long hobby and there fore take a long time to build a layout, even small one that I am building. It is not how much time that you spend on the hobby, we always want to spend more, it is the good quality time and enjoyment that we have when we do spend time on the hobby and the friends that we do make from this hobby. <br />Ron..
